4. International Financial Aid Bloge
Based on feedback from hundreds of international students, we have decided to dedicate a resource online that
discusses, highlights and informs you on all things to do with international financial aid. Keith Clausen, director
of InternationalStudentLoan.com, is developing this resource to provide you with information about financial aid
especially for international students, with helpful links, articles and advice. Posts will cover scholarships,
loans, and other tips for making your international education affordable.

The International Financial Aid Blog will become a "Must see" resource for international students looking for
financial aid!

6. Student News - from around the world
Korea's Top Universities Moving Towards English Curriculum

In South Korea, having a degree from Seoul National or Korea University on one’s resume will open doors in
business and politics, and will establish social connections that will prove useful over a life time.

But outside South Korea, the names of the prestigious “SKY” universities – state Seoul National and private
universities Korea and Yonsei – do not carry such cachet.

That, combined with the outwards stampede of Korean students to internationally recognised institutions in the
US, is causing some dramatic reforms in the tertiary education sector, most notably the pursuit of "inwards
globalisation" through the rapid adoption of English as the lingua franca of the classroom.

International Students at Dartmouth Cope with New Visa Regulations
The tradition at Dartmouth is for each student to spend his or her sophomore summer at school, instead of working,
travelling or doing other typical summer college activities. Dartmouth international student advisors are busy
helping international students try to fit this typical Dartmouth experience into the new visa regulations that
require that students take off no more than one term per year, and not more than one term in a row. Dartmouth's
quarter system makes compliance a little more challenging. Click here to read the story: http://www.thedartmouth.com/article.php?aid=2006062901030

7. Student Sound-off - HOT Topics from the mail bagFor "Student Sound-off" this
month, we have scanned our forums, blog and mailbag for hot topics. This month we have a blog entry on credit which
has generated lots of interest and a post on the forum from an entrepreneurial student looking for help:

Post - Owning a business
Can an international student set-up their own business? I want to know what laws govern an international student
establishing his/her own business. I do not want to run foul of immigration laws. Thanks for all your help.

Blog - Building Credit in the USA
Many students arriving in the USA struggle to purchase a cell phone on contract, to obtain a credit card from an
American bank or even to open a video rental account. The main reason is that banks and merchants often use your
credit score to determine whether to do business with you -- if you have no score or a bad score, you will struggle
to get these everyday things! (I know, I have been there!)

One tip that helped me build my credit in the USA: I applied jointly for a small loan with someone who had a good
credit score. This meant the loan was approved as the bank looked at my co-applicant's good credit score but when
repayments were made, both applicants were credited with good, on-time payments - this allowed me to build my credit
very slowly until I was approved about a year later for my own credit card.
